Chuck repairs?

I have an Aldi Powercraft drill and the chuck keeps dropping out of the gearbox - does anyone know how to repair it? (The drill has only been used infrequently, but is out of warranty, so should still have life left in it!)

Thanks

A lot of chucks are retained by a screw that is accessed with the jaws of the chuck wide open. Take care- these screws are often a LEFT HAND THREAD.

these may give you a clue:
